Dovecot needs a password DB where to perform authentication and a user DB where to retrieve home directory and uid/gid. With A.D. you can perform only the first: authorization but you should use Kerberos and PAM, not LDAP. Actually, a Microsoft extension to A.D. exists; it add unix style accounting to A.D., but I did not test it (ehi, it's Microsoft stuff! Do you really think it can work? ;-) For the user DB you should use static uid/gid and virtual mailboxes (a single Linux user that own all the mailboxes).
If you are interested, search the list archives to find my post where I rougly explained how to do it. Sorry for my terrible english.

Hi, this is my fist post :)
I'm trying to authenticate users to Active Directory, but I don´t know how to set up dovecot-ldap.conf to do this. Specially user_filter and pass_filter attrs.
Does someone have this configuration working?
Thanks in advance.
